Sony patents AI that predicts a game's next frame before the GPU finishes rendering it

Forward-looking: Sony has filed a patent for an AI system that predicts a game's next frame before the graphics hardware finishes rendering it, aiming to reduce stuttering without introducing the additional latency associated with some frame-generation methods. The system uses the most recently completed frame and, optionally, recent controller input to generate a predicted frame that can be displayed while the hardware renders the next one.

Tesla's new Roadster can fly, drive upside down, and hit 60 mph in under 0.6 seconds

Three configurations are planned, with the most extreme featuring perimeter-mounted thrusters and room for just one person
First look: Tesla has introduced a next-generation Roadster that it says can fly, with a single-seat Rocket configuration designed to lift off the ground and maneuver in the air. The Rocket is the most ambitious of three versions, with a claimed zero-to-60 mph time below 0.59 seconds. The engineering pushes the Roadster beyond conventional sports-car performance, though it remains unclear whether owners will be allowed to use its full capabilities.

Ticket resale giants sue Washington DC over new law that caps scalper markups at 10%

Four major resale platforms argue the price cap will do more harm than good while giving Ticketmaster an unfair advantage
Winners & losers: It's a depressingly common sight to see tickets for concerts, shows, and other events getting snapped up en masse before appearing on reseller sites with huge markups. It's why Washington DC introduced a bill limiting how much resellers can raise the price of tickets, but the marketplaces are now suing the District of Columbia to block this law.

New proposed bill would make video games something you own, not rent

Stop Killing Games lost in Brussels and Sacramento. A federal bill picks up where they left off
Why it matters: Two years after Ubisoft's The Crew went dark and took 12 million copies with it, the question of whether you own the games you buy has finally reached Congress. A proposed bill by Representative Ritchie Torres is short on detail and long on obstacles, but it is the first federal attempt to answer a question the industry would rather leave alone.
